May God be with the family of Sgt. Amaru Aguilar. As the mother of a Army military man stationed at Ft. Riley, Kansas, my heart and prayers go out to the family. My son has been deployed three times to Iraq so I can only imagine what agony this family is going through. SGT. AGUILAR, YOU ARE IN MY (and all military parents and families) PRAYERS!!

Rest in peace Sgt. Aguilar. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this horrible time. We appreciate your service more than you will ever know.
Father, Bless this soldier as you welcome him into your Kingdom.

Words can convey so little to anyone who has lost a love one. As a former soldier, there are even fewer word that mean anything to me, or could help explain why soldiers/servicemembers do what they do in war time. Comfronting fear and death is not an easy task. Nevertheless, there are some men/women who chose to go back and face the monster square in the eye. To me that can only be done whe the ones wearing the uniform realize that he/she is part of something greater than themselves, and at that point they are transformed. This discovery shields them from fear and death as we know it. They are the one who answer to the calling.with courage and shine among others.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” And I said, “Here I am, Lord. Send me.”
~Isaiah 6:8

Bin Laden is dead!! Why are we still at war? Liberation? We aren’t even free here. The dollar is collapsing because of the wars (our biggest budget spending). Get your sons home!!! Don’t let anymore die for America’s need to rule the world. I repeat, the whole reason we went to war, Osama Bin Laden, has been KILLED!!! Now let’s get the troops home safely. Or was this never about Bin Laden or Saddam, and all about imperialism? You make the call. Don’t let you kids die for this machine. For the record, I served in the US Navy.
